Shorted delivery

I always buy my fire wood by weight seems to take out the chances of someone being dishonest.

One look at this chart should tell you why that's a real bad idea:

Note that cottonwood and locust are nearly identical green.

I'm curious how you would even buy wood by weight?

Truck scales?

If you buy green, plus a specified species, plus have access to close by scales, I guess this could work.

Gets rather complicated to by by weight but it _does_ save the time to stack and measure how much you got

Assuming the standard box, that's 41 square feet of bed area (63 13/16" W x 92 5/8" L). That'd take wood stacked 6' tall the full length and width of the bed to get two cords on.

I ain't saying it can't be done, but I'd sure like to see it.

Closer to 5 feet. Last row was on tailgate and held with a chain and chain binder.

Wish I had a pic, it was all hard maple back then

P.S. no wheel wells in a M715 either : )

It would just be screwy. Green wood would be heaviest & by that method worth more. The customer would have to be there when it got weighed, or seller could weigh it & then throw some off.
